10 . There are about 100 beaches around the Sydney Harbor and along the coast. If you find it hard to pick the best destination, here are four waiting for you.

Freshwater Beach

Freshwater Beach is the location where surfing was first introduced to Australia in 1915. The beach is only 350 meters long and is a popular destination for surfers. The beach is protected and therefore provides a quiet swimming experience away from the hustle and bustle of its busy neighboring beaches.

Bondi Beach

Bondi Beach, Australia’s most famous beach, is more than 100 meters wide and over 3 kilometers long, which allows plenty of space for the large number of tourists and locals. On a sunny day every grain of sand is covered with bodies, with crowds pouring into nearby bars and cafes. Parking near the beach is impossible. It’s also the perfect spot to see a sunset and the scene of family parties during summer.

Clovelly Beach

As one of the best options for surfing and exploring what hides beneath the water’s surface, Clovelly, noted for its unique narrow bay between two rocky ridges, is a popular destination for swimmers. It’s a good base where you can check out diving routes through the waters, or take a coastal walk to Bondi.

Palm Beach

It’s the scene of the long-running Home and Away TV series and endless celebrity spotting. A salt water lake affords great views, typical of beaches on the north side of the harbor. On a nice day, Palm Beach is a postcard-perfect sand destination.
